Absolute Death Game-Chapter 453 - 48 Evil God

Sword Control Technique — Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Sword! With Xiao Buli’s loud shout, the Glowing Light Sword whooshed into the cloud layer. In less than two seconds, it fell back down, but this time, Xiao Buli’s body flashed with bright white lightning. Pointing with his hand, the electric light on Glowing Light’s body streaked across like a bolt of lightning, crackling through the air between him and the cave entrance. Having taken a devastating hit from this move just a moment ago, the Serpent Demons were naturally not foolish. Seeing the lightning heading their way, those who could dodge twisted their bodies to move aside in the first instance, while those who couldn’t evade in the inner circle were blasted into nothingness.

No sooner had the lightning dissipated than Xiao Buli immediately gave an order to the giant python. Being his pet, the giant python and Xiao Buli had an understanding of each other’s intentions, moving as if they were one. Its reactions were swift; the python chased the tail of the lightning and instantly arrived at the edge of the large pit.

This action provoked unprecedented resistance from the snake horde. The Serpent Demons let out a piteous scream that was as shrill as if a child had been stripped of their beloved toy, piercing the eardrums of anyone who heard it.

Immediately following, they converged on the giant python’s path with a speed they had never exhibited before. Claws and venomous Arrows rained down upon the giant python, and some of the crazed Serpent Demons even began to climb onto its body using their sharp claws.

Unfortunately for them, the Lava Giant Python possessed a Passive Skill called Lesser Dragon Blood. The damage from toxins and acids would be greatly mitigated, a poisonous Arrow striking its body would only cause a few health points to drop at a time. For the Lava Giant Python, which had tens of thousands of health points, this was nothing but an itch. The climbing Serpent Demons didn’t even catch the python’s attention. A twist of its body was enough to fling them to the ground due to the force generated between its scales. But those Serpent Demons, acting insane, immediately leaped back up from the ground, rejoining the fray with even fiercer determination.

Xiao Buli stood atop the giant python’s head, looking down at the struggling Serpent Demons below as if they were mere ants. A feeling of excitement flashed through his mind; he knew it was the python’s eagerness. He was in communion with the python’s thoughts, and it seemed that the python was very interested in what lay within the pit.

The giant python opened its jaws and let out an excited roar. Its movements became even faster - it was clear that it was very eager to obtain whatever was inside the pit. Xiao Buli suddenly felt that this item might very well be the fallen Demon Star that Jingci had told him about. If he remembered correctly, Jingci had mentioned that within this Barbaric Wilderness lay an ancient Barbarian Ancient Country. A long time ago, a Demon Star had fallen upon this ancient land, and since then, monsters ran rampant, Demon Beasts tyrannized, and the ancient civilization was obliterated. If his bold guess was correct, what lay within this pit could very well be a part of that original Demon Star.

At this thought, Xiao Buli’s heart began to palpitate with anticipation. He remembered that Jingci had used a Demon Star Fragment to transform Maoqiu so thoroughly that he was unrecognizable - not just in appearance but also in combat prowess. If what he was about to encounter was the main body of the Demon Star itself, wouldn’t the effects be frighteningly significant? This seemed perfectly suitable for his ferocious pet, the Lava Giant Python. With that thought, he leaped down from the python’s head and pointed towards the pit. The giant python hesitated no longer and charged straight in.

However, the Demon Star’s allure was obviously not lost on him alone. Before his arrival, these Serpent Demons clearly had been companions of the Demon Star for a long time. Although it was unclear whether they had always behaved this way, it was conceivable that the Demon Star was very important to them.

Those Serpent Demons that were still alive moved with lightning speed, all hurrying back. Just now, only the Serpent Demons around the edge of the pit had tried to resist Xiao Buli. Now, even more returned to the defense, making the giant python’s movements appear somewhat sluggish.

But Xiao Buli was no longer a newcomer. The means by which he dispatched foes were far from weak. He pulled out an Obsidian Crystal Coffin from his pack and, utilizing True Qi, infused it into the coffin. The pure white True Qi became clearly visible as soon as it entered, winding through the crystal coffin until it emitted a disturbed vibration. The white light disappeared, and the Obsidian Crystal Coffin in Xiao Buli’s hands grew darker as if it could absorb the light around it. With a push of his hand, the crystal coffin landed with a thud on the ground. Under its trembling, it swelled like a real coffin to a height of two or three meters and emitted a sinister aura of death, towering on the edge of the pit.

"Open," Xiao Buli shouted.

There was a click, and the lid of the coffin sprang open. Thick black wisps of fog emerged continuously from within the crystal coffin. The black fog, both dense and faint, made it impossible to see what lay behind the elusive mist. It was as dark as the gateway to hell. Suddenly, a black Corpse Evil with sharp claws like hooks and a body as dark as night emerged from the darkness. First hazy, its figure then became clearer, its fur shimmering with a dark sheen. Half its face appeared to be made of gnarled tree roots, simultaneously wooden and horrifying. Where its eyes should be were black pupils that clearly showed no signs of free will or consciousness.

This black Corpse Evil was a type of Zombie, a product of the Obsidian Crystal Coffin. Once activated by True Qi, the Obsidian Crystal Coffin would produce a Zombie every ten seconds, which could be commanded by the owner of the coffin. Their combat strength was at least one and a half times stronger than the Talisman Soldiers Xiao Buli had summoned before. Although it was the first time Xiao Buli had the chance to use the coffin since its creation, he was unsure of its exact power. However, just by looking at its cool appearance, he was impressed.
